    It sounds like you didn't enable the outbound network when you compiled the
    moo.  In the options.h file, uncomment the line "#define OUTBOUND_NETWORK"
    (remove the "/*" and "*/" around it) and recompile.

    The ability to open network connections is disabled by default for security
    reasons.  Uncommenting the #define OUTBOUND_NETWORK line allows outbound
    network connections to be made.  Think carefully about this, though, as
    it'll let anyone with wizard permissions on your moo initiate internet
    connections from it, possibly getting past any firewalls you have set up.
